broadcast message to all users

[Leo]

Dear all,

How can the system administrator notify all users include those use
gui only about an event? I have been thinking combining 'wall' and
'notify-send' but can't figure out how to send to all gnome and kde
users? Any ideas?

Thanks

You can give xmessage a try.  It'll work in Gnome and KDE.

Use Google to find some example scripts - there must be tons of them.
